Could I end up with a decent head of hair without using finasteride? I'm willing to get hairline lowering & regular transplants.

Asked By:masculinize in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey

23 y/o Norwood 2-2A. Giant forehead. If I had hairline lowering to reduce transplant area and got a transplant every few years could I get a thickish head of hair w/o finasteride? Thinnish hair at the crown is ok but I want a nice hairline. Not optimistic that this is doable. I'll take fin if I have to, but IF I can get good results w/ just transplant every few years I'd rather not use drugs. Transplanted hairline will be DHT-resistant and won't re-recede to reveal hairline lowering scar right?
